Came here for brunch yesterday before church because I didn't want to settle for McDs or random pizza.
Thanks for all the yelp reviews.
I had their hash. Eggs was perfect.
Service was great. Seating wasn't a problem... I sat at the bar. Love the atmosphere and vibe.
Kind of on the pricey side which is why I'm minusing a star.
They have an interesting menu and dishes that they serve.
If you're in the area, have breakfast here.

You'd think for such a large space, they wouldn't try to seat four people at a table for two.

While the show I saw there, Isa Live: A Vegan Life in Four Courses (a live vegan cooking demo of sorts with lots of back and forth between the audience and the chef, and 4 courses), was pretty good, the inadequate seating really took away from the experience.

Don't get me wrong, the place looks pretty nice. This is definitely not a dump. It's kind of like wine cellar meets upscale restaurant meets concert venue, which is definitely a strange combo. But to be squeezed into a table and have to worry about turning around and hitting someone or something is incredibly uncomfortable. C'mon city winery! Get bigger tables and just space it out better!

Also not sure who's bad this was (probably City Winery's?), but some of the food that was intended to be hot was coming out cold, the plating was inconsistent in terms of presentation and portion size, and garnishes were forgotten at times (where's my coconut sour cream for the tamale guys?).

All in all it wasn't awful or anything but I don't really want to spend $85 to be sitting in another person's lap. I don't really think I'd see anything else here.
